1. In this case the appellant pleaded guilty to two charges of petty theft. He was stopped and searched by an alert police officer on the 9th of December 1972 and in a parcel he had a transistor radio and a lady's green cardigin. He candidly told the police that he has stolen them from different premises on the same day at approximately the same time. Had it not been for his candour the offences might not have become known to the police and he would not have been charged with them.
